Playback existing section in other part of a track

MessageAuthor

Hi there, When composing, I'm usually laying out the different parts of my song doing some copy pastes here and there. However I sometimes end up wanting to do a few changes to a repeated section, and as a result I need to go over all the copies of the given section to update it. Is there a way to make a "symbolic link" to an existing section of a track, so that when the track reaches a given point, it actually reads something from before in the track, and if I change that section, it changes everywhere? I hope it is clear,

If MIDI, you can pool the copied MIDI items, so changes to the contents of one of the pooled items applies to all of them. You'll have to do this pooling when you are copying the items, afterwards you can only unpool any of the items if you want. Preferences/Media/MIDI, Pool MIDI source data when pasting or duplicating media items. For the mouse edits you can set the pooling behavior in Preferences/Editing Behavior/Mouse Modifiers. There is no equivalent feature for the audio items, but there are actions to propagate changes to similarly named items, e.g. Item: Propagate to all similarly-named items.
